  • Used car at the dealer’s cheaper than from private?

    Hello community, since my current car (Golf-Kombi Bj 2000) has now slowly retired, I have been looking for something new again for some time. (e.g. a passat or golf from Bj 2008) I have always noticed that (with the same mileage, equipment and age) the cheapest offers always come from commercial dealers, and usually only much later the expensive private offers. However, since I prefer to buy from private, because one likes such a better picture from the history of the car, I ask myself, why these usually for no obvious reason like to apply easily 1000 euros over the commercial prices? Normally they should be actually rather cheaper, because no intermediary has to be paid here. In answer, I can only imagine that such prices arise from pure raffle to earn extra money when selling. It could be that at some point a “unsuspecting” comes by, and this price I’ve already looked at several private offers, and so far they have been just a few boxes down the road (even without a checkbook and no maintenance notes). I wouldn’t even buy them if the seller went down 2,000 euros… what he’d have to do anyway, because no one would fall for it.

  • Purchase advice – VW Golf 5 BJ 2003 or Alternative

    Hello community! First to me: My name is Tobias and I am 26 years old. At the moment I am a student (master). As my old Astra (BJ 97) slowly gives up the mind, it is time for another car. I decided in this case for a diesel because I will write my master thesis in Switzerland. As part of my work I will have to drive a lot there. In addition, the move is added (Bremerhaven -Switzerland). Estimated KM performance (year): ~20,000 A friend of my father would like to in its Golf 5 sale, which has the following characteristics: – Year of construction 2003 – TÜV NEW – 230.000 KM – Price: 280€ – 1.9 TDI Known defects: – Small rust spot at the tailgate Before I go to the inspection, I wanted to know from you whether the price is in principle ok. Moreover, I would like to know from you experts what else I have to pay attention to. If you come to the conclusion that the car is not acceptable, I would be interested in alternatives (up to approx. 3000€ ) Best regards Tobias

  • Ford Fiesta or Toyota Yaris

    hello, my mother wants to buy a car for max. 5000 euros. the selection is the fiesta (2001-2008) and the yaris (2nd generation 2005-2011). the car must have an automatic transmission. is it true that a diesel engine with an automatic is better able to cope and the consumption of the car does not increase as much as with the gasoline? which car would you recommend to me in terms of consumption and other costs, such as reperaturability. or is there still alterna I would have thought at the fiesta that with the 68 hp you can drive the car with 130 or 140 on the highway, already at the power limit. I hope you can help me and thank me already in advance.

  • BMW E39 530i vs. Volvo V70 II 2.4 T5

    Hello dear forum, today it’s about a car for my father (known here under the user name “heulgetrieb”. His V70 TDI is still running great, but you can always think about replacement. One thing in advance: I convinced him of the advantages of a gas conversion, he will no longer buy diesel, I think. The reason for this was among other things the videos of various acceleration and speed orgies with corresponding sound, which made him think – combiniert t with the fact that a vehicle converted to gas gets both a green badge and is cheaper in the tax as well as the insurance. The driving profile is rather rural (Landkreis TÖL) and often through the mountains, what you do in Upper Bavaria just now and then a long distance trip on the highway (Dresden, quite rarely also the Baltic Sea). My father is on understatement, and it must be a combi. What do you think? Bavarian quality work with silk-soft M54 engine (one of the best that ever existed) combined with the rear drive and slightly sporty tuning? Or Swedish (set with Ford parts) quality with the 260 hp-5 cylinder, which one does not look at its bully power from the outside and which is not so common on German roads? Which actually has the more practical cargo space? They both have clear and well-processed cockpits. Even in maintenance the vehicles should hardly differ, I suppose. of course, there are more different replicas, but you have to look for them in the Volvo. How do you think about it? Even as a BMW fan I am unsure

  • Mitsubishi 3000 GT (Gen.2) VS Toyota Supra (MK IV)

    Hello guys, I am faced with a very difficult decision. Which of the two (Supra MK IV or 3000 GT Gen.2) send cars should I get and what would be to pay attention to during various visits? Advantages, disadvantages if someone has already sat in both. Durability of the engines (if you take care of them properly), ease of maintenance. Consumption and taxes are very similar and I think in the insurance also. So only technical. Creates simply a direct comparison of both personal and objective. Please help me! With kindest regards and a big thank you in advance

  • Stylish travel

    Hello dear forum, I have signed up here because I need advice. I am looking for a new (used) car. it should be: – stylish and timeless and not look outdated after 5 years – strong enough to leave representative combos and GTIs behind – not a model that poses today or in the future with semi-strong posers with rugged sound and windows down in front of high-rise settlements – have a family and travel-friendly trunk – reliable be suitable (motor, transmission, electrics, rust); i.e. a robust construction without firefance, tearing control chains or defective DSG transmissions – as 1-2 annual car for max. around the 35T € change the owner So far I have considered the CLS (218 and 219). Unfortunately it does not meet the criterion with the half-strong (a pity!!). Unfortunately the VW CC has the problem with the Tfsi engines and also the problem with the DSG, so almost only problems. Likewise the A7. Jaguares meet probably n Porsche is either not family-friendly, or can be found in front of the skyscraper at some point as Cayenne or a Panamera that I don’t like. Sadly, Saab doesn’t build cars anymore and Volvos doesn’t exist as a four-door coupe. Unfortunately, the GranCoupe from BMW is a little small, I’ve already tested that. In addition, something above the price frame and probably has another owner in 10 years, who can compensate otherwise. Do you have any idea? I would be very grateful! Many greetings, Karsten

  • Used up to 7,000 euros

    Moin, I need a new car. My current car is an e36, 316i compact, Bj ’97, 157.000 Km. Unfortunately he won’t come over the Tüv… I was very satisfied with the driving feeling, I wouldn’t have objected to a new Bmw. Budget is at 7,000€, and I would like to spend less. I drive almost exclusively in the city, mostly short distance. I would have liked about 100 HP. 3-door is perfect. So far I have thought about a 3 Bmw (e46), 1 Bmw and Mazda 3. Where with the 1er probably from the price becomes difficult Important to me is reliability, have no desire to put sums into the car What else can you recommend? This one is in my eye: 1er BmwInteresting would also be this 3er This Mazda 3 is my favorite. Will the days drive a sample and then possibly let it look at under. What do you think of this one? Thank you already!

  • 3 seats in front, rear seat for two bicycles

    Hello, specialists, we want to get a new family carriage. As the title already says, we want to sit comfortably in the front with three (with child seat). We don’t need a second row of seats. In the back, besides the usual luggage for a short vacation, we should find two undisclosed MTBs. Optionally also a mattress for sleeping. At best at the same time. It would also be nice if you then manage on the highway 150km/h. The vehicle should not overdime After all, one wants to park it somewhere. The whole thing is clear again: I hope my female wishes are not too overworked and egg-legging wool milk-like.

  • Solid combo up to 13000€

    Hello, I’m looking for a solid combo up to 13.000€ with a slightly more sporty engine. It will be about 25 km of city every day alone and on weekends from time to time on highway and AB for two or three. Every year about 15000 km. I had already looked after some VW Group models, but basically I read only bad things about TSI, TFSI and DSG, which is why I’m quite unsure here. Skoda would otherwise agree to me for the most part. Currently I drive a CLK w209. W I would like to say: – A relatively sporty engine, yet solid and durable (depending on proper maintenance of course) – KM-Stand around the 100,000km very gladly also less – automatic transmission – I think gasoline would be the most sensible in my mileage performance – Some luxury does not hurt, but no need I hope I haven’t forgotten anything and you can move me in the right direction.
